Luckily, the nuclear weapons as destroyed before they can detonate, but on the downside, the satellite control was damaged in the firefight, causing the satellite to rain deadly lasers over the local area.

Synopsis

[edit]

While nuclear weapons head towards Cobra Island, Duke sends Wheeljack to the SPS Satellite control center on the island where he'll rendezvous with another group including Mainframe and Sci-Fi; hopefully they can use the satellite to destroy the nukes. When they get to the base, they find the entire building empty, except for the dastardly Dr. Mindbender.

Moments later, the satellite is reprogrammed, but Storm Shadow and a posse of goons arrive to mess things up. Luckily, the nuclear weapons are destroyed before they can detonate, but on the downside, the satellite control was damaged in the firefight, causing the satellite to rain deadly lasers over the local area.

Cobra Commander is making plans to vamoose, when he runs into Starscream, still damaged after his fight against Snake-Eyes. The two plot together a mutually beneficial agreement.

Outside, Megatron fights against G.I. Joe. The soldiers fight against Megatron (with some incidental aid from the satellite laser, which also kills Mercer... but eh). Prime arrives to finish the job, but heroically steals Megatron's cannon. G.I. Joe provides the co-ordinate of the satellite. Fueled by Energon, Prime fires a blast into space, destroying the laser, saving everybody on the island.

Weeks later, Optimus Prime thanks G.I. Joe for their aid in constructing a new Ark. To get by without the Autobots' help on Earth, the members of G.I. Joe have received new giant robots of their own to pilot. Underground, government scientists have recovered the Decepticon hardware and have begun some very dangerous experiments.

While in the Florida Keys, the escaped Cobra Commander and Starscream bicker.

Notes

[edit]
  • The duo of Cobra Commander and Starscream was chosen because their classic voice actors were both Chris Latta, who used a suspiciously similar voice for both characters.
  • Now you know... and knowing is half the battle. Yo Joe!

Errors

[edit]
  • Trailbreaker appeared to have died in the previous issue but is alive and fighting in this one. Similarly, his "killer" Storm Shadow was last seen apparently having his S.N.A.K.E. ripped apart by Prowl and Bluestreak, but he shows up in it with only superficial damage here.
  • A Conehead-type Decepticon is seen during the battle, but as he is colored like a Rattler just like Skywarp and Thundercracker, it's unclear if he's meant to be Ramjet, Thrust, or Dirge. The erroneous part is that G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II and The Art of War would later establish that the Conehead trio were on Cybertron all along.
